the 2% hike in payroll taxes and a delay in tax refunds. >> it shows they were panicking in early february with the pace of sales. it's a concern of what's going on in the economy and with households. obviously, a bit of a cash squeeze. >> reporter: other companies have pointed to gridlock in washington as being a drag on the economy. and ceos from foot locker and target have also pointed to the payroll tax increase as one reason why consumers are being cautious. experts say just that 2% extra paid in taxes means a family making $40,000, will have $800 less in their pockets this year. the equivalent of 16 bags of groceries or 80 packs of diapers from the average retailers. walmart released a statement saying the leaked e-mails are out of context. and experts say it's too soon to tell if people really are spending less. and don't forget the other blow to americans. and gas prices spiked 51 cents a gallon in the last two months. >> that's painful. pain at the pump. all right, linzie, thanks so much. >>> we're going to turn, now, to the massive diamond heist that appears to be one of the bigg
